I heard it crunch. 404 00:28:44,169 --> 00:28:46,103 And the man that did it was dead. Dead! 405 00:28:46,171 --> 00:28:47,695 And had been dead for over two weeks. 406 00:28:47,773 --> 00:28:50,503 Well, I envy him. At least he's getting some sleep! 407 00:28:50,575 --> 00:28:55,308 How do you know that this individual was dead, Kolchak?

We both saw him put into his grave. 410 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,854 We saw the casket lowered into the grave. We didn't see if Edmonds was in it. 411 00:29:05,924 --> 00:29:08,984 Now, we think the body was exhumed by some cult. 412 00:29:09,061 --> 00:29:11,495 However, I didn't want to speculate as to the purpose. 413 00:29:11,563 --> 00:29:14,623 After all, these are Haitians. They're people from a foreign country. 414 00:29:14,699 --> 00:29:18,499 Yeah, that's right. Especially Francois Edmonds. He, sir, is from hell itself! 415 00:29:18,570 --> 00:29:22,506 And how is this stiff walking, Kolchak? How is he doing it? 416 00:29:22,574 --> 00:29:24,508 Who's pulling the strings? 417 00:29:24,576 --> 00:29:28,478 I don't know exactly, but I've been doing some research. 418 00:29:28,547 --> 00:29:32,813 It's voodoo. Francois Edmonds has been turned into a zombie. 419 00:29:32,884 --> 00:29:38,516 Now, the process that activates him has something to do with chicken blood and corn kernels. 420 00:29:38,590 --> 00:29:40,023 Get him out of here. 421 00:29:40,092 --> 00:29:42,856 Enough for one night, Carl.

Well, I'll tell you how. 502 00:36:43,815 --> 00:36:47,546 You instruct all of your men that go out looking for this zombie... 503 00:36:47,619 --> 00:36:50,019 to look in places of the dead- 504 00:36:50,088 --> 00:36:53,888 in graveyards, in cemeteries, in mortuaries or whatever. 505 00:36:53,958 --> 00:36:59,055 Each one of them has to be equipped with the following items- 506 00:37:00,398 --> 00:37:03,595 white candles, matches, salt... 507 00:37:03,668 --> 00:37:07,035 and needle and thread. 508 00:37:07,105 --> 00:37:09,403 Now, after you catch the zombie, 509 00:37:09,474 --> 00:37:12,932 you pour the salt into his mouth. 510 00:37:13,011 --> 00:37:14,945 Then with the needle and thread, 511 00:37:15,013 --> 00:37:17,538 you sew the lips... 512 00:37:17,615 --> 00:37:21,073 very tightly together. 513 00:37:21,152 --> 00:37:23,450 What do you do with it then, Kolchak? 514 00:37:23,521 --> 00:37:25,489 Cook the guy?

You're pathetic! 524 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,656 I can explain all this. Carl's been under an awful lot of pressure lately. I'm probably to blame for that. 525 00:37:59,724 --> 00:38:02,852 Were you paid to participate in Edmonds's murder or just to look the other way? 526 00:38:02,927 --> 00:38:08,229 And this is all the evidence you got?

What about you? I see that your name's written here too. 530 00:38:17,442 --> 00:38:19,376 Now what's your connection with the murder? 531 00:38:19,444 --> 00:38:23,574 Well, I ask a lot of questions. Seems like nobody likes that - cops, voodooists or politicians. 532 00:38:23,648 --> 00:38:26,947 Wouldn't you agree, Captain? Well, in that case, since we all agree, 533 00:38:27,018 --> 00:38:29,316 we ought to be able to settle our differences. 534 00:38:32,924 --> 00:38:37,418 I want that zombie story killed or you're gonna be hearing from Chief Langsdorf. 535 00:38:38,563 --> 00:38:40,497 L- I meant to tell you- I'm comin'! 536 00:38:40,565 --> 00:38:45,264 Sewing the zombie's lips shut only works if the zombie is dormant. 537 00:38:45,336 --> 00:38:47,463 If he isn't- 538 00:38:47,538 --> 00:38:52,669 Then you'd better have some white candles with you to burn while you try to strangle him. 539 00:38:52,744 --> 00:38:58,011 And be very, very, very careful lighting those candles. You know why? 540 00:38:58,082 --> 00:39:02,075 So you won't violate any fire laws, ya dumb- 541 00:39:08,259 --> 00:39:11,820 Kolchak!
